An extraordinary general meeting in Arribatec Solutions ASA (the "Company") will be held on 12 May 2021 at 10:00 CET at the offices of Arribatec Solutions ASA, Karl Johansgate 23b, 0159 Oslo. The notice and agenda are attached to this stock exchange notice and will be sent to the company's shareholders, including registration and proxy form. In addition, the notice with appendices and all other documents to be considered by the general meeting will be made available on the company's website www.arribatec.com
The Board of Directors of the Company has proposed to elect BDO AS ("BDO") as the Company's new auditor. The background for the proposal is the Company's acquisition of Arribatec AS in the fourth quarter of 2020 ("Acquisition"). For accounting purposes, Arribatec AS has been identified as the acquiring company in the Acquisition. On this basis, the Board of the Company is of the opinion that the auditor of the Company and the group going forward should be the auditor of Arribatec AS, which is BDO, and not the currently registered auditor of the Company, which is Ernst & Young AS ("EY"). The Company has informed both EY and BDO of this transition, and the auditors have prepared for the transition. As a result of not being requested to audit the 2020 financial statements, EY has requested the company to formally elect a new auditor and de-register EY from the Register of Business Enterprises within 14 May 2021, in the absence of which EY will formally resign. The Company will announce its consolidated financial statements for the Company audited by BDO on 29 April 2021.
